If you configured reportbug with an e-mail related to your hostname, you probably not configured it correctly. You need to give an SMTP server to it (preferably your primary e-mail's one), and create an app password, or enter your password (if you don't use 2FA). Then it sends an e-mail from your account as you.

The good thing about reportbug is, it works on your system with your own configuration, and walks you through the process. Microsoft Windows has a full invasive API to enable that with web browsers.

The mailing list tool used by Debian (Majordomo) is a bit backwards, but you can send command e-mails to bugs to be added to CC, or be removed, or to reclassify stuff. The best thing about it, these e-mails are also logged, keeping a nice trail of "who did what, when" kind of information. Please keep in mind that Debian e-mail lists start in 1994, so there are a lot of things to migrate when things move.

I personally also like KDE's Bugzilla, but finding correct components is a pain sometimes, so I directly use "report a bug" tool under "Help".

I don't think reportbug is perfect, but it does its thing way better than it looks. Maybe it can be improved. I need to look into it.

Did the Unabomer have any ideas you couldn't read elsewhere?

I imagine there are tons of philosophers who have said similar things.

Here's a comment recommending Jacque Ellul and Lewis Mumford - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4015488

Another one - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24658601

(I haven't read them)

But we probably don't remember or cite them because their manifestos weren't published on the front page of newspapers.

That was due to the serial violence of the author, and it was subsequently talked about for decades.

That is, the notoriety of his crimes could be the reason that you read and recommend his work, rather than somebody else's work -- as opposed to it being a coincidence
A much more interesting article than the title alone alludes to (unrelated to code).

See his definition of overoptimization:

> My current working definition of overoptimization goes like this: overoptimization has occurred when the introduction of immense amounts of information into a human system produces conditions that allow for some players within that system to maximize their comparative advantage, without overtly breaking the rules, in a way that (intentional or not) creates meaningful negative social consequences. I want to argue that many human systems in the 2020s have become overoptimized in this way, and that the social ramifications are often bad
if I plug in my phone and my phone isn't ready to start charging (say it detects an overheat, common in Arizona), it just… doesn’t start charging. Just because the cars onboard charger now has power available to it doesn’t mean it has to start charging the battery.

The EVSE is talking to the onboard charger, the on board charger is what actually interacts with the batteries. The EVSE has a specific resistance inline with a comm pin to indicate presence (even when unplugged from the wall) and modulates a frequency on the comm pin to indicate max amperage. The car puts a specific resistance on a different comm pin to request that the contactors close to connect the charger to wall power. Any problems or bugs thereafter are with the onboard charger, not the EVSE.
Just because Safari can sometimes be ahead, it's still the browser that lags the most. And sometimes we're talking about years behind Chrome and FF (WebRTC being the example I directly suffered from).
You are choosing to completely ignore reality. Many entire countries are moving to entirely renewable. My home and EVs are powered almost entirely by our home solar and batteries, and I live in Michigan.

We would be powered 100% by solar but our laws here allow the utility to limit the size of our system.
I assume this is a good spot to give a shout-out for the Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest podcast - kid-friendly story-telling podcast great for long car rides. The author likes to point out deviations between original stories and later re-tellings. I believe the first 2 seasons are free.

My Method to Boost Creativity
GrapheneOS is totally different to having an app on stock android

> GrapheneOS adds a Network permission toggle for disallowing both direct and indirect access to any of the available networks. The device-local network (localhost) is also guarded by this permission, which is important for preventing apps from using it to communicate between profiles. Unlike a firewall-based implementation, the Network permission toggle prevents apps from using the network via APIs provided by the OS or other apps in the same profile as long as they're marked appropriately.

>The standard INTERNET permission used as the basis for the Network permission toggle is enhanced with a second layer of enforcement and proper support for granting/revoking it on a per-profile basis.

> To avoid breaking compatibility with Android apps, the added permission toggle is enabled by default. However, the OS app installation UI has been extended to show the toggle as part of the installation confirmation page so users can disable it when installing an app.

> when the Network permission is disabled, GrapheneOS pretends the network is down. It shows the network as down in various APIs, returns errors showing a network connectivity issue rather than a revoked permission and avoids running scheduled jobs depending on the network. This results in apps handling it as if the network is down rather than crashing or showing errors from trying to use the network and being unable to do it.

>The framers definitely would not like you using a warrant for gambling ledgers to seize _not_ gambling ledgers.

You are failing to confront Rayiner's point, which is that it has always been the law in the US that if the police search your computer for evidence of fraud, let's say, and they come across a folder named "child porn", and if they search in that directory and actually find child porn, that child porn can be used to convict you of the crime of possession of child porn even if the search warrant was only to search your computer for evidence of fraud.

By the same principle, if they stop you for speeding or having an expired license tag and it is obvious that you are drunk or high, the fact that they didn't know (or couldn't have known) you were drunk or high when they decided to stop you does not prevent the authorities from using the evidence gathering during the traffic stop to convict you of driving under the influence.

> If you pass an object to a method in Java, C#, whatever, and that method starts a new thread with it, you're still going to be boned if the callee starts modifying it at the same time.

Which is why the concept of thread-safe types exists. The documentation usually explicitly states if a particular container/service/anything else is safe to call from multiple threads concurrently or not, and the standard library goes to great lengths to either make the types that are expected to be used in multi-threaded scenarios thread-safe or to offer thread-safe alternatives (like ConcurrentDictionary<K, V>).

Worst case, most types are engineered in such a way that should thread-safety be violated, it would either lead to an exception or an invalid state but not to memory safety issues.
Is that still available on recent One plus versions. I had that on my 5 and was appreciative.
Another example which I once posed to a regulator, is satellite information as public permitted insider trading. There are firms who buy satellites imagery (only available commerically, or even paying for a satellite to go to certain locations) to look at the shadows oil storage containers. You can see the relative levels of oil storage to predict the oil market. This is vaguely solvable by adding a false ceiling

But more pernicious, check target parking lots to see how full they are, to predict approximate target's profit before their quarterly releases.

Nominally this is totally public knowledge, but unless you can afford to pay for commercial imagery (or rent where it points) you would never know. Is that really a public market with globally relatively-equivalent knowledge

Has anyone had performance issues using JSONPath? We are processing large pieces of data per request in a node express service and we believe JSONPath is causing our service to lock up and slow down. We’ve seen the issue improve as we have started refactoring out JSONPath usage for vanilla iteration and conditional checks.

There are a lot of factors at play so we can’t quite put our thumb on JSONPath, but it’s the current suspect and curious if others have run into anything similar.

> if you want to solve problems and build stuff

Not everybody is like that, even in software. I mean sure, creative aspect is very cool, but its fraction of any senior job, including most bigger startups from what I've heard. Even my current corporate job which started 12 years ago was pure dev in the beginning, now its maybe 20-30%. Responsibilities, personal growth, but also business grew in complexity and IT landscape and various regulations governing it exploded and keep exploding. I know stuff very few other do, so I get involved continuously into tons of efforts.

As they say, if you work manually hard work rest with mental challenges, and vice versa. Wood working must be cool since you create visible results with your hands and there is certainly some physical effort. I don't seek further creativity TBH, I look for extreme/adrenaline sports, be it climbing, ski alpinism, paragliding and few other similar (but also super chill diving to cover all elements and balance intensity). And ie in climbing, finding out how to climb some new route that is hard and scary for you is extremely rewarding, a literal creative ballet on vertical rock face.

Till kids came, this was making me properly happy and fulfilled to 120% since I was doing something every evening, every weekend, every vacation combined with 3rd world backpacking. Plus it made me super healthy and more focused on healthy eating too, became quite attractive to women since all this changes visuals but also confidence and overall persona for the better in aspects many women notice.

With small kids, and few non-horrible injuries I am now somewhere in the middle now, but kids are top priority, rest are not that important now (folks who keep going the same way/pace after having kid(s) I don't respect, it shows later on those kids in all kinds of bad ways). I know I have skillset to show them later some pretty awesome places and activities, but will let them go their own way. Just managing maximum possible off screen time since thats cancer for young soul and sugary stuff since thats cancer for body, now its easy and they follow our examples so they happily much some bio carrots and ignore cakes.

Yeah, but that's not going to work because we used carbon to fuel growth and then decarbonized. Everyone else saw that China did the same thing to raise half a billion out of poverty. Everyone remaining saw that India raised more than that out of poverty burning carbon.

It's not like we're going to give developing countries nuclear power so their choice is coal, natural gas, wind, and solar. And inevitably they follow that specific chain of energy build-out as their growing economy starts cleaning up. No one has demonstrated a high-scale success that is not that.
> Its a huge legal liability to have statements about how data won't be used and then use it, when you're a company that might compete in similar spaces, and Microsoft competes almost everywhere.

That's one of the most absurd hyperboles (or the most detached-from-realiy statements) I have ever seen. That would mean only one out of 100,000 people is doing "real" work. Or if you spread it evenly, less than one third of a second per working day.

I think you might be reading into into it too much, or else I'm not reading into it enough.

To me, "western" imperialism includes older stuff like the British and Spanish colonies etc. and is a nice one word phrase rather than listing each specific country. In modern times it is really mostly just America so that would be the better term for talking about it, you're right. I think me and maybe others tend to kinda lump all of the NATO countries together as one unit since usually there's not usually big disagreements and other countries do participate some, like the other NATO counties that sent troops for the Global War on Terror.

You're right, I haven't heard the term eastern imperialism, but I have heard the term "evil empire" to describe Russia specifically.

I want to reiterate that I believe that while there is certainly some, I find the group that is anti-US conquest and ambivalent to Russian conquest somewhat relevant and awful, and the group that is anti-US conquest and pro-Russia conquest tiny enough in America to be basically non-existent. The pro-US conquest group is big enough that there are still lots of people (in my experience) that support Kissenger, the global war on terror, etc. especially in government. I totally agree that this is not a productive debate angle though because I don't think either of us will be able to convince the other what the 'general opinion' is. And frankly I don't really care because we already agree on all the important parts

I remember in math class in high school, we had a project where we analyzed hours of tv watching per day. Quite a few people watched like 6 hours of tv a day. I'd say its been heavily skewed towards consuming for a while. I would also say that gaming and watching streams can have a social aspect too, though that depends. If anything there is more of a social aspect? At least for me I talk to people on twitch regularly.

Or is it what the "legendary" comment in the original link calls attention to: That the pay is good? As a result, you technically only need to spend a minutes per day, if that, working on software. Everything else is fluff. This seems to match what Kaczynski is talking about.

Take a job developing software that just barely covers the cost of your survival needs and I expect there is no chance you will feel empty about it.
It's easy for programmers to focus on the technical details and forget the big picture. The technical aspects of automatically formatting code are relatively easy to solve. The difficulty is in the social parts. That's what Go solved by bundling gofmt with the language.

As a result, almost all Go code out there is formatted the exact same way and nobody has ever had to have the dreaded code formatting discussion about Go at their company. Eliminating such bikeshedding for every user of the language is a solid win.

That's why all the languages proceeding Go have adopted the same approach, e.g. Rust and Zig. Python's Black formatter has been directly inspired by gofmt as well.
